Valise Radio

Valise Radio is deep in France's listing, at 706 of 710. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

Valise Radio has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

4 stations in France lead with 2000's and Valise Radio is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 10 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past France.

The directory carries no bitrate for Valise Radio. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. France's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

Its audio comes straight from live.valiseradio.com:7340, an address unique to this entry in France's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
